Also Shapovalov failed to close out Tsonga. These kids really need to start actually beating the oldies at some point (not Federer, though ).

Well tbf he beat Tsonga at the US Open. Just got tight at the wrong time here, he generally played the better tennis.

Who is Jana Fett?

Djokovic about to go 2 sets to 1 up against Monfils after losing the first.

 

[Anil]

monfils is at best a tease and those types rarely work against a rock-solid player like djokovic...

 

[vcs]

He plays defensive tennis. You can't out-defense Nadal and Djokovic and beat them that way.

Anyway, good to see that Novak's comeback seems to be back on track. Hope guys like Zverev, Dimitrov also show up consistently at the end of major tournaments this year.

I’m a patriotic as the next bloke but I hope to see a lot more of this Giorgi girl. Complete glamour.

Zverev looks to be on his way out. Djokovic won't mind it too much.

Chung announcing himself! Zverev shverev.

Surprised Berdych beat Del Potro so easily.

Schwartzmann looks like Matt Damon.

Well done Dimitrov. Seems to be a very gracious guy as well, consoling Kyrgios at the net there.

 

[Anil]

he sure has a lot of talent but until/unless he actually wins one of these things, i am going to remain skeptical...same with kyrgios...will/persistence/self-belief is what separates the talented, flashy players from champions, those two haven't shown that they have it in them yet...but yes great job so far from dimitrov...

Not convinced he will get past Edmund.. even if he does so, he doesn't seem to be playing well enough to challenge Nadal.

I wasn't impressed too much by his play today, but more his mental strength which is something he's lacked in the past. So maybe it's a good sign that he's finding a way to win without looking all that impressive.

Berdych's blazed through his section of the draw.

He's struggled to beat the top-4 at the latter stages of Grand Slams over the years, but you've got to admire his consistency in getting there most of the time.

I think Berdych will fancy his chances against Federer this time around. Federer's had a pretty comfortable draw so far, doesn't get much easier than playing Fucsovics in R4.

 

[vcs]

Then again, Federer did put in his best performance of the year last year against Berdych in R3 when he was a bit of an unknown quantity coming back after that long break.

I'm just talking to myself in this thread, really.

Kyrgios is going to be such a monster player in a few years if he just manages to keep his head on.

Edmund has had the easiest draw of the quarter finalists by far. Dimitrov should take him down easily.

Dunno about Federer vs Berdych. Haven't seen a single one of Berdych's games this year.

Chung giving Novak a hard time... enjoyable game so far.

The dude playing the fifth set against Thiem is named Tennys
